1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundMultiplex immunoassays offer many advantages over singleplex assays for the analysis of multiple analytes in a single sample. We sought to validate a specific multiplex cytokine immunoassay (Human 9-plex cytokine array on the Searchlight® platform by Thermoscientific) prior to use in a large clinical study.

methodsWe compared spike and recovery of recombinant proteins on the Searchlight® platform to singleplex immunoassays purchased from R&D Systems, measured identical patient samples on the two different platforms, and measured identical patient samples on different days to measure intra- and inter-assay variability.

resultsAssays using the Searchlight® platform had inefficient recovery of spiked recombinant proteins compared to R&D Systems singleplex assays. Assaying identical patients samples on different days on the Searchlight platform had acceptable intra-assay variability (intra-assay coefficient of variation (CV%) range for all analytes of 9.1-13.7) but unacceptably high inter-assay variability (CV% range for all analytes 16.7-119.3) suggesting plate-to plate variability. Similar assays for individual cytokines on the R&D platform had an intra-assay CV% range of 1.6-6.4 and an inter-assay CV% range of 3.8-7.1. Some deficiencies in Searchlight® assay performance may be due to irregularities in spotting of capture antibodies during manufacturing.

conclusionsWe conclude that the Searchlight® multiplex immunoassay platform would require extensive additional assay optimization prior to widespread clinical research use.
